The Wrath 2017 released Monday 26th June, but once again this was not the original title as in the USA it is known as Trash Fire.
With once again British distributors taking licence and changing the name, even the cover for a more catchy title or DVD cover.
This very dark horror comedy as it is marketed in the US from director Richard Bates Jr, who's previous effort the 2012 film Excision, is a cross between Meet The Parents and Psycho, about an unlikable young couple, Owen (Adrian Grenier) and Isabel (Angela Trimbur) only staying together for a sake of a pregnancy.
Only Owen agreeing to return home so Isabel can meet his family, or otherwise his relationship will implode.
With a return home to face some demons in the shape of his dysfunctional family, an over bearing religious grandmother and his sister who was badly burned in a fire years before, the fire which may have been started by him, claiming the lives of his parents, leaving the Grandmother to raise them.
Can these two unlikable lovers survive the return home, with a religious grandmother played wonderfully menacing by Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan, who has taken an instant dislike to Isobel.
Although not a horror movie, it is a very unpleasant drama, that is extremely unnerving, and Violet the grandmother is probably one of the most horrible characters to ever Grace our screens.
A very distressing film, that really is a hard watch, and only for more adult viewers.

I came across this trailer on YouTube yesterday, and it is doing the rounds again on social media, a trailer first showing in 2015, that got everyone talking " is this for real" " this can not be a film can it?" As it turns out no, it is a trailer that is well made, but certainly is not going to be a film anytime soon.
A one joke trailer about a randy ghost intent on jerking men off, using handjobs, I'm surprised the tag line wasn't "Cumming soon".
This was obviously made by men with a running narrative that women cannot give a decent handjob, and having them do the deed is worse than death, instead you have a ghost who wants to jerk all men to death.
It is as awful as you'd expect it to be, but I still found myself chuckle a few times, it is rude, crude, insinuating, and in fairness harmless fun, a film if made I would actually probably watch, it certainly looks better than the recent Cabin Fever, Evil Dead 2013.

Tree is about to have a very bad day, again, and again and again.
College Grad Tree, a self centred bitch, who you take an instant dislike to, who is foul to everyone.
Treats everyone like dirt, then wonders why someone would want her dead. With a groundhog Day loop thing going on every time she is murdered she has to live through the same Monday the 18th, until she can find out her wants her dead, solve her own murder, and maybe become a better person in the mean time.The thing is I really wanted to hate this movie, but I couldn't, because of the performance from Jessica Rothe as Tree, in her first scream queen role, starring previously in La La Land, and Netflix's Parallels.
She is so likeable and believable in the role, although playing the bitch perfectly, she is deep down a damaged soul, still mourning the death of her mother, and her grief is her anger towards fellow People.
With some inventive kills, and no matter what Tree does, the day always ends in her death, with …

A film that strangely has been long forgotten, from 1980, and a film that has no mention about any remake or reboot. That is how this good film has been left on the shelf, compared to other slashers of that decade. Strange as it has possibly the best onscreen kills, with amazing practical effects from Gore master Tom Savini.

Plot summary;
A jilted soldier returns home from world war 2, hearing just before that his girlfriend has replaced him with another man. At the graduation ball of 1945, Rosemary is brutally slain alongside her new boyfriend. Shocking the town, that another ball has been postponed for 35 years. It is now 1980 the ball has been agreed once more, and the jilted soldier is not happy and decides to slay the party goers once more.

Formally known as the Prowler especially in the States, but changed to Rosemary's Killer in the UK. The film apart from the great Gore effects is quite average though, and probably why it has never been remade. With the jilted soldier in…
